Makes sense but I was running really low on reagent so I had to make due. I think I'm OK now though but I will perform another OCLT once my shipment arrives just to be sure.

Going to post a little update. -As per Pool Math I added ~3 gallon of bleach Thursday morning to take my FC to 28. -Tested FC 2 hours later and was down to 24, so added another 0.5 gallon per Pool Math. -Instead of measuring and wasting test reagents I just added 0.5 gallon twice more which got...

Wish I saw this yesterday while I was pulling out my hair trying to figure out what was wrong with my SWG. Turns out I had the crystal clear water and finally ended up performing a OCLT which showed that I was losing chlorine. I too dabbled too close to the minimum for too long.

Now I'm just curious how much bleach (in total) I'm going to need to SLAM at a CYA level of 70. Initial amount says 3 gallons. Really hoping this doesn't take more than a few days to cure.

Sounds good. My TA was at 60 a month ago but I guess I didn't do a great job of keeping up with acid demand. I usually try to keep my ph below 7.8 but I think I slipped a little bit recently.

Well, I think I found my problem. I performed a OCLT and when I measured FC last night it was 5.5 and this morning it was 4. So a loss of 1.5 FC. It's odd because my pool is crystal clear but I guess I need to SLAM.

Here's what I am seeing. I've had my pool for a little over a year now. My SWG worked great last year, in other words produced the amount of chlorine I would expect. This year it appears to be producing way less chlorine for the same run time. I didn't keep good track of what percentage I ran it...
